Pros
Free beer No accountability if you're a slacker. If you play the game, are under 30 and play "blind" to what goes on you may go far.
Cons
Too many to list. They like to push out older employees with new, inexperienced under 30s. One method is to make them miserable so they quit or even more devious...they try to fabricate or trump up charges of "misconduct" ...whatever they can do to not have to pay unemployment. They even falsify timecards so they don't have to pay overtime. I've never worked for a company so arrogant or uncaring...all the while preaching in their indoctrination cheerleading meetings "One team, one dream". They change sales goals in the middle of program, sometimes not even notifying the sales reps. This happened once where vacation trips and airline vouchers were to be awarded and 4 guys had made the original goals, but with the change none of the guys won anything. Talk about lowering morale. This is the kind of stuff that goes on. The people they bring in to manage are always from some other AB location, never local and they have no idea how to manage, let alone operate a business. They pit people against each other and only care about meeting their budget. Most of the upper Escalon are Brazilian, so many things that come down from headquarters are not worded properly or have grammatical errors. There are posters and such hanging in the office that were noted to have obvious errors and when headquarters was notified for corrections the department was told to print them and hang then anyway. How's that for professional standards?
